The Health Complaint Thread October 1, 2007
Posted by skinbad in Personal Experiences, Women Ranting.trackback
I don’t know if I have a lot to say about this. There seems to be a need for people to share, though. I’ll dedicate it to the memory of my late Grandma R. She moved to Utah from Virginia when she was a young, married lady. She lived with our family the last few years of her life. Each morning, she’d maneuver her walker into the kitchen (ka-thunk, slide-slide, ka-thunk, slide-slide) to get herĀ Folgers and groan “My bowels is jest turrible.” We know about hunchy and her poor spine, anyone else need to get something off the sharp pain in their chest?

Innocent Bystanders 
The back and sides of my legs hurt from deadlifting.
My elbows hurt from bench pressing.
My wrists and forearms hurt from everything.
and here I thought he’d be telling me his eyes hurt.
and he’s been working out.
THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HURT
My soul hurts, from man’s inhumanity to man.
Oh…. and left nut. Not sure what that’s from.
My eyes DO hurt.
And the pain I have is “old person’s pain,” not good pain.
I have fibromyalgia.
Bart, just get to your test of the Focus Night & Days. I told you this already in the ICGYWYW thread. Cathy did the research and got me to try them. It will be a liberating experience for you.
Ow. My lumbago!
My head hurts, probably because my sleep cycle has been flipping all over the place these past few weeks.
Cathy, not to intrude, but how do you cope? What works for you? How the hell do you stay so darned sweet?
I have a friend with fibromyalgia.
It sucks.
I suppose I could offer up a knee update; short story is I’m doing fine. Probably about 85-90%. No complaints.
not to intrude, but how do you cope? What works for you?
A healthy spiritual life.
An understanding hubby and good communication.
Relentless effort to learn more and apply what might work.
Light exercise, like yoga and walking Casey the Crimefighter.
Good nutrition and clean eating. (I presently take no drugs.)
Periodic toxic cleansings.
Active lifestyle.
Focus on things other than self.
A sense of humor.
How the hell do you stay so darned sweet?
I can come out and play. See #209 @ CSOC.
I did it for you, Babe.
Yeesh, that fibromyalgia sounds like the sort of thing that would reduce me to a quivering fetal ball. You bear it very well, Cathy, but it seems so unfair that you should bear it at all. I hope there’s relief in your near future.
Bart, does what you’re doing for your muscles outweigh what you’re doing to your joints? Honest question.
My lower back has had a good year. I’m grateful. I usually get a couple of episodes a year of walking around clinging to counter tops for a week or so. Hope I’m not overdue. Here’s wishing good health to all my pretend internet friends.
Thanks Geoff.
Ask Michael about the quivering fetal ball.
Applying what I’m learning has helped me to experience more good days than bad, but still get whacked down periodically into the “quivering fetal ball” for little apparent reason. Go figure.
I won’t stop trying. I’m bent on staying away from the drugs, believing many cause more problems like weight gain and internal toxicity.
Skinny
Not knowing what you do for exercise and building/maintaining muscle I’ll throw this one out.
Several good friends who are physical therapists have stressed to me over the years that MOST lower back problems are due to lack of abdominal muscle strength.
It was explained to me by one of them that our bodies are like tall buildings that need strength in the structure on all sides. When the back hurts we need to ask ourselves if the extra strain is due to the front not bearing its part of the load.
Just sayin’
Cathy you are SO right! I have painful degenerative arthritis in my lower back, and finally went to a specialist. She immediately put me into physical therapy. The focus is building core strength and reverse spinal flexibility (like being able to do a backbend).
After only three weeks, I feel like a young thing again. The pain is almost abated, and I know how to control it. It’s wonderful.
Cathy,
The front part of the building doesn’t have much overhang, but the strength could certainly be improved. My good intentions need to become actions more often. No doubt about that.
KC
So glad to hear that PT is working for you! Building core strength. Yeah!
Pilates and/or Yoga are also good for that if you haven’t tried them, consider taking the plunge if/when the physical therapy sessions come to an end.
With any degenerative challenge, there is a need to have ongoing maintenance. Good luck and please keep me posted.
Looking forward to IBSBP.
Pain is weakness leaving your body.
ok, I couldn’t really pull that one off without GLAR, so, anyway. I tried. My motto has always been “No pain, hey! No pain”!
KC, good to hear that the therapy is getting you some relief. I’ve never really suffered from chronic pain (I don’t put the knee in that category), but I know many who do, and it’s sad to me.
Backbends?
I’ll be in my bunk.
I’m suffering from a severe Mexican Food addiction. And to be quite honest, the Mexicans are winning in a landslide. I expect that obesity and it’s co-morbidities will follow.
Cathy, we’ll do some sun salutations, catbacks, cobras, tree poses, warrior poses, and down dogs. I love yoga.
I just had a pastrami reuben with extra kraut, and now my breath smells like hot garbage.
Does yoga really make you strong?
I like frozen yoga.
I like the yoga with the fruit on the bottom.
Do or not do. There is no try.
yoga makes you peaceful and strong. Untouchable.
Can I get me a pic-a-nic basket with that? Yeaah aa eeee!!
I’ve got chunks of guys like you in my stool.
weāll do some sun salutations, catbacks, cobras, tree poses, warrior poses, and down dogs.
Aren’t those Karma Sutra positions?
Cathy, weāll do some sun salutations, catbacks, cobras, tree poses, warrior poses, and down dogs. I love yoga.
…and one-foot cranes. Duh.
Arenāt those Karma Sutra positions?
Everything’s a Kama-Sutra position.
One of my newborns wants to be constantly held. Mommy is not up to speed, so I have to gingerly hold him all night, and the thought of accidently hurting him keeps me awake all night. I am trying to think of a body part that is not hurting from lack of sleep. I think my hair and toenails are doing ok.
The makers of kitchen platforms, cribs and changing stations have conspired to make these items too low for a man to use properly. My back hurts constantly. And stupid drug laws won’t allow the really powerful painkillers available OTC. Must ask some friend to bring the good stuff from India.
I need slee…e8ow7 tyc0856 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
^ heh. welcome to the party, pal!
CLAP!
Tushar, welcome to parent-hood!
Just wait until the first time you change a diaper and little Tushar decides to wizz straight up into the air, or your face. Many aches and pains coming your way dude, so be prepared.
Tushar!!! The first couple months are hard. You won’t remember any of this very soon.
Sear into your brain their sweet little facial expressions and their coos. I loved it when my kids would make this little “O” with their mouths. And when they yawn how they stick their little booties out. It goes oh so quick.
Lord know if I’d remembered the lack of sleep I wouldn’t have four kids.
Oh man, I want another one now.
Tushar, They gave your wife some good meds. Don’t let her hold out on you. And for Vishnu’s sake, don’t tell your wife your body really, really hurts.
If you haven’t already, get a good rocking chair. Don’t go cheap.
Your back will thank me. And you might avoid having to do backbends.
Tushar, I would hold that little angel for a few hours for you if I could. Babies seem to love laying across the big wide chest of their daddies.
Thanks for all the tips guys…
One of my boys rotates around in the crib like a clock hand, and both can turn on their sides. One of them even stood up while he was lying flat, and I was holding his head up. He pushed hard on the bed using his feet, and literally stood up. Is this normal behaviour for week old babies, or have I spawned some kind of freaks?
>>Babies seem to love laying across the big wide chest of their daddies.
Yeah, he does seem to like snuggling with me.
Mr Minority, I have been doing diaper duty even when they were in the hospital. I have experienced all horrors, and learned much. Surprisingly, I am not revolted by their poop as I expected.
pjmomma, get rid of that freaky eye of Sauron. You are creeping me out.
I have tourettes. CO@#$ SUCK@# MOTH@#$ FUCQ#W$R!
speaking of health problems, do you guys know anybody with tour…SHIT! FUCK! AGAGGAGGAGGG…ASSS!
“I loved it when my
kidswife would make this little āOā withtheirher,/u> mouth.”That’s better.
I am not revolted by their poop as I expected.
wait till God puts the smell in it.
Damn, blew that underline tag!
Tushar–
First, belated congratulations.
Second: You need to start bellowing at the one who “needs holding”. It’s never too early to start with the positive reinforcement. He needs to hear now that he needs to cowboy up and be a man about it. That’s how he’ll know you love him. (Even though he’ll probably know that you love his brother more.)
I do this with my kids all the time when they get “clingy” or “hungry” or “frightened by mean Rottweilers”. They’re girls, but they understand what I mean.
Wife got prescription Percocet. She does not like to use painkillers, and will probably not use them all. Is it a good pill to have around? I might stash some away.
See-Dub,
have you thought how spending thanksgiving alone in your old age will feel like?
I didn’t scream at my kids enough either, and they’re both a couple of pushovers now.
Thanksgiving is deer season. As long as I can get a home health care worker to wheel me out in the woods and hand me my rifle I’ll be happy.
See-dub, you are tough.
BTW, at what age are kids allowed in the gun range?
Gun ranges are for dazzling urbanites. We have a rec room for that.
I only allow rimfires, though, and there’s no hard liquor allowed in there. When the kids are around.
I never used my painkillers Tushar, cuz I didn’t like to use them while nursing, but they sure do come in handy later. Like when the kids start talking.
pjmomma, did you ever have C-section? If you have a C-Section and lived without painkillers, you are not human. And for Gods sake, get rid of that freaky eye!
Yes, percocet is a good pill to ‘have around.’
In case of ’emergencies.’
On a side note, your first photo on Slublog’s photo page, the one with the little one, was the best. No subsequent one measures up to that. I will soon send Slu a photo with my little ones.
What, it’s happy hour again? Already??
EMERGENCY!
Hey- wait- is today Tuesday?
‘MERGENCY! Hurry~!
It’s getting worse…!
nevermind Tushar. I didn’t know she had a C-section. Kick down man. On my block they go for about $4 a pill. Want me to take them off your hands?
And Tushar, interesting that you and Rosetta are the ones that have a problem with my eye. It’s my freaky eye btw.
I fail to see this as any kind of emergency, unless you’re out of alcohol.
PIG FART COW DUNG!
I am sure your eyes are beautiful, but that close-up is a bit creepy. If you has used a close-cropped photo with both eyes, it would be nice, and not freaky.
I’m just thinking you and rosetta feel guilty about something…….
FINGER STINK CARCYCLE
They used to burn people with freaky-eyes like that.
Great now PJM is offering to BABOON BUTT CORNHOLER turn a new father into a drug dealer.
Way to go, pjm.
SALTY FECES
damn, dropped that stupid pen again.
CODE RED!!! GET THIS MAN A PERCOCET, STAT!!!
SALTY FECES? That is a bit too much even for a Tourettes patient.
BTW, to rehash my recent joke, Rosetta suffers from a combination of Munchausen and Aspergers syndromes. They call it the Assmuncher syndrome.
They used to burn people with freaky-eyes like that.
BURN HER!!! BURN THE FREAKY_EYED HERETIC!!! AND GET ME ANOTHER PERCOCET!!!!
Since we’re on the subject, this may have been the funniest thing Dave at Garfield Ridge ever posted:
Obviously, content warning on the audio there.
Tushar,
Pupster boy 1 was born premature and had some issues that required him to live in the infant equivalent of intensive care for the first 7 days of his life. When we finally got to take him home, he immediately got spoiled by being held 20+ hours a day. We finally figured out how to wrap him tightly in his little blanket and lay him down in his first car seat, which made him very happy. All he was looking for was that surrounded feeling, and I got the feeling back in my arms after a few days.
Second DinT’s rocking chair suggestion, we bought a glider which was worn out by the time Pupster boy 2 came around.
Out of choice I held all my baby’s 24/7, only for the reason I couldn’t put them down.
My oldest is 9 and this year was the first time I’d ever been away from ANY of my kids for longer than hours.
My children are neither needy and are very independent. Babies just love being held. Is that so wrong? And glider rocking chairs great
PISS BULLOCKS!
Hey Tushar, I told my wife you had twins and each weighed over six pounds. That’s all any of our single servings weighed. She gave your wife a moment of silence to honor her achievement. Really. Her mind could not comprehend such a thing.
The more you hold your babies, the less they need to be held.
That was my motto. But those years were a complete blur.
Skinbad, 6’9 and 6’10 actually. And my wife is 5’2″. In the ninth month, she was looking a bit freakish. But she was active right till delivery. Even offered to drive on the way to the hospital.
I think I will get the glider. They are a bit too expensive, though. I have already blown a pretty bundle. All right, one more thing. May have to sell the motorcycle.
Wife just called. The baby is ok if we put him down for some time now. He seems to have discovered his brother, and is secure knowing that he is not alone in the crib.
walmart has a glider with matching ottoman for $100 it has lasted me through many a kid
hmm… Walmart it is. Wife does not like spending money. I am the one willing to spend.
Looking back I wish I had done it more than I did.
I don’t think you can do it too much. And when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Tushar, I hope you get the rest you need. I might eventually get some sleep if my wife will quit poppin’ em out every two years.
Rocking chairs are good, but my first was never a cuddler, so I didn’t get any use out of the chair until 2 and 3.
Having a kid who doesn’t like to cuddle is sad.
I recently started running (wife and I are going to do a half marathon together) and my right knee hurts now. Also, I keep getting a blister on the bottom of my right foot. What’s up with that?
I can remember my eldest at from age 1 to 2, patting me on the back while I rocked her – I guess because I would pat her back when I rocked her.
Now she’s 21.
*SNIF!! HONK!!*
My kids don’t like being changed or sponged. They holler like they are being murdered. I guess the changing table is not comfortable for them.
Sobek, that hurt knee and the blister are natures way of telling you that you are getting old, and need to have a stiff bourbon, instead of running a Marathon.
Dave, I remember you once posted a photo of your girls in a field of flowers when they were little. That was cute.
I guess the changing table is not comfortable for them.
Tushar, here in America our changing tables are not made from bed of nails. I suggest you get a regular changing table at Walmart also.
Sobek, check the alignment of your heel in your shoe.
New shoes may help, or a pair of Dyna-Soles, which wrap around the bottom/back of your heel in your shoe and prevent knee pain.
At least, that did it for me when I used to do a lot of hiking. Glad I quit that tough stuff though, my knees feel better since I did.
“…that hurt knee and the blister are natures way of telling you that you are getting old…”
That’s what I keep telling my wife, but she keeps pointing out that I’m only 31. She’s pretty crafty that way.
I guess the changing table is not comfortable for them.
Wise father tip for you: Put the padded thing on the plywood.
Way too slow with Mr. M. around.
“Sobek, check the alignment of your heel in your shoe.”
I went to a specialty store where they video-taped me running and got me a custom shoe. I never had any problems with my knee (and my knees are generally bad anyway) until maybe a week ago.
Sobek, it’s probably prostate cancer.
You should get that checked out.
IT”S NOT A TOOMAH!
>>Sobek, itās probably prostate cancer.
Nah… blister on heel, you say? I suspect uterine cancer.
Mr Minority,
What kind of babies are these? Can’t even enjoy a bed of nails? They have become too Americanized and gone soft.
Cathy, thank you for your answer. I really think I need to try the cleansing thing. And I saw and admired that fun thing you did on the other thread.
They have become too Americanized and gone soft.
Indian babies may be soft, but American babies are HARD! all of the time, and BIG!
Hey, I’m doing a half marathon too Sobek. I’m training for one in Florida.
OT: Bart said he would never visit the Hostages unless he was able to see a specific video.
<Here ya go, buddy!
Good job, wiser.
š
Tushar, it’s actually on the arch of my foot. It’s just an odd place for a blister, is all. And Dave, stop thinking about my rectum.
Pjmomma, I’ve never done a half marathon before, but it will be my wife’s fourth. She ran one last September, about five months after giving birth to our son. She is superhuman.
Bravo, Wiser! GLAR!
#96 – PattyAnn If you want to know what I have done that worked for me, email Michael about this and I’ll email you back with the info.
I’m just sayin, that’s serious stuff dude.
Anybody have a case of perpetual gas? I mean the kind of gas that will clean out a locker room. What’s up with that?
Anybody have a case of perpetual gas?
Cranky, itās probably prostate cancer.
You should get that checked out.
Minority, stop thinking about Cranky’s rectum.
Minority, stop thinking about Crankyās rectum.
Sobek, actually thinking about Cranky’s rectum purges the horrible thoughts I get thinking about you.
Carry on, then.
Well, I just got a clean bill of health for that end of the ol’ alimentary canal. Please return your attention to Sobek’s rectum.
The gas though, maybe it’s the oatmeal?
She ran one last September, about five months after giving birth to our son. She is superhuman
Holy cow I’d say so. She’s totally superhuman. My marathon is in February. I’m too wimpy to try the full, but I’m quite content to do the half. I’ve never done one before. My first 5k is on Oct. 20th.
I can honestly say that I have never understood the enjoyment of running. In fact I hate running, I love hiking, walking and swimming, but not running.
Well, I just got a clean bill of health for that end of the olā alimentary canal.
Uh Cranky . . . normally we get a doctor to do that for us.
I love running, but it’s too hard on my joints. I kept getting hurt and/or sick, so finally I had to give it up. š¦
If troll considers the remarks he quoted to be “feces-smearing,” then I’d hate to see how he would react to an actual flame thread at AOSHQ.
It’s very, very funny that he claimed that he was no liberal, and even shared some conservative views, but now he admits that his goal is to shut down conservative conversations. A troll from day 1.
yeah, that cracked me up, too. What is he, 15?
In fact I hate running, I love hiking, walking and swimming, but not running.
I hate it too! I’m just doing it for pure egotistical reasons. I wanna be able to say, “yep, I did that”
Geoff, that guy in the next stall at the bus station swore he was a doctor. Now, I just feel used, $50 richer but used just the same. NTTAWWT.
Do we need to spell that out for WD?
OT: Bleg for bmac’s Kramer. See NiceDeb’s blog or the link to her post from mine at http://balancesheet.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/help-a-puppy-out/. Thanks.
I can’t run anymore because of my joints. I still love to walk and try to do some every day.
I got pretty disenchanted with the running thing when I proudly finished a 10,000 meter run (in about 59 minutes) only to find out that the state governor’s wife also ran the race and beat me. She was pregnant at the time. Sheesh!
I was late on my period until about 30 minutes ago…..phew!
Besides that, I have no major complaints.
Kathy, your positive attitude makes you strong. I don’t hear any self pity in your comments.
In fact I’ve never seen a comment by you that wasn’t sweet, positive, and uplifting.
Did I miss some good troll action?
ND, I coulda told you were PMSing.
And, yes, I can speak in complete sentences.
…told you that you were…
Bart, does what youāre doing for your muscles outweigh what youāre doing to your joints?
Yes, skinbad, probably. I should know better than to stress my joints at my age. Weightlifting is great for muscles, tendons, and joints. Heavy weightlifting is not so great for the tendons and joints.
MOST lower back problems are due to lack of abdominal muscle strength.
I agree with this, Cathy. A lot of experienced weightlifters do not use a belt when they lift weights. Intense abdominal exercises will strengthen your midsection into somewhat of a girdle, thus eliminating the need for a weighlifting belt. The back is designed to take a lot of abuse and do a lot of work. We have huge muscles in our back for that reason.
If you hurt your back when you bend over to pick up something off of the ground, it doesn’t mean you have a “bad” back. It means that you have a weak back.
Bart, how come you’re not at AOSHQ defending Rush?
Libtard Thom, a KOS diarist who Michelle Malkin recently called ‘a nut’, deserves a good whacking, and none of the regular trollwhackers have been on that Tom Harkin thread.
In fact Iāve never seen a comment by you that wasnāt sweet, positive, and uplifting.
She’s also good at burping. Excellent volume, duration and tone quality. She is a finely tuned instrument.
He’s not really worth the effort, ND.
You can’t get anywhere arguing with someone who’s completely dishonest.
My burping sucks. I think it’s because my chest cavity isn’t big enough to get decent resonance.
I still haven’t burped in front of the boy. I know he will just laugh, but I just can’t bring myself to let him hear my pathetic little-girl burps. It’d be one thing if I could shake the room like my sister, but, alas, as in every other performance art, I have no talent whatsoever.
*wipes tear from eye*
Sheās also good at burping. Excellent volume, duration and tone quality. She is a finely tuned instrument.
He told me he fell in love with me hearing me burp in my dorm before he ever saw my face. I had just eaten Domino’s Pizza from the one and only original pizza place.
I am a good burper. It’s like singing — it’s all in the diaphragm.
I don’t actually like running, but I love to hike, and running is good for building stamina so I can hike better.
Also, I suck at burping.
Also also, I can’t whistle. I’ve never been able to.
He told me he fell in love with me hearing me burp in my dorm before he ever saw my face.
That’s true, I actually heard her burp before I met her. It was awesome.
Man, it’s friggin’ hot here (like 35C) so I’ve gone to the beach the past few days and I end up w/ friggin’ heat rash!
I can burp, all right. It will be a good party at the Michael’s house.
I have some skills there.
For those who want to know, Cathy with a “C” and I have established a dialogue pertaining to feeling better, thanks to the email forwarding skills of Michael (thank you Michael). I trust Cathy and will follow her suggestions.
“none of the regular trollwhackers have been on that Tom Harkin thread.”
NiceDeb, you did not need any help. You kept throwing the truth at him and he kept dodging the bullets. He’s a dishonest idiot. Just like our lil Winnie the Poop.
I have really dry patches of skin — rough like sandpaper — on my elbows. They are each only the size of a quarter, though.
Is it psoriasis? It’s not itchy, just dry.
…on my elbows.
Me too.
I’m going to try that Zims Crack Cream, Mrs. G likes it.
Zim’s Crack Cream?
Sounds like stuff for the ass.
How about that balm used for utters? What the heck is that stuff called, I think it comes in a little can?
What the heck is that stuff called
I think it is called: Utter Balm
Bart, I think it’s just desk leaning, I get that every now and then.
Lotion. Heals it right up.
Close, but no.
It’s called Bag Balm, and it might be just the stuff I’m looking for to help me elbows.
Dave’s right — desk leaning causes those patches.
I’m going hot-tubbing. That will cure anything.
You can buy Bag Balm everywhere here in the Spud State.
Even the Hallmark Greeting card store.
OK, I made that up.
Dave, honestly, I don’t rest my elbows on a desk or a table, ever.
RG, have you used the Bag Balm? You know, on your udders?
George Strait’s Hoof and Hand Cream…got it at Wal-Mart.
You can use it on your horse too.
Isn’t George Strait the one who has the rep for showing up shitfaced and ditching early for his concerts?
I still havenāt burped in front of the boy
Then, after the burping, is the fart barrier. That’s the difficult one.
George Jones
I think PattyAnn is right, cause George Strait is …well… pretty straight.
Good father. Kind neighbor. Decent sort of guy.
Some of our friends were his next-door neighbors. And some of our neighbors’ kids went to private parochial school with his kids. Nothing but nice things were said about him.
My brother used to live near Ozzy — true story.
Did he burp in front of him, mesa?
That was not a topic that ever came up. But, Ozzy actually tried to mow his own lawn once. The mower sat there for a few days after that.
Not that exciting by Ozzy standards, but that’s all I’ve got.
Lipstick, I don’t fart. I politely release small amounts of perfumed air, accompanied by the sound of angels singing.
perfumed air
Is it a lilac odor, like my polite releases?
Lipstick, I donāt fart. I politely release small amounts of perfumed air, accompanied by the sound of angels singing.
uh…i know you told me that you had problems with your hearing – I guess you forgot to mention that you had problems with your sinuses too…
Oh? Well, it’s probably prostate cancer then.
You should get that checked out Bart.
While living in San Antonio, Sean Michaels, the WWF wrestler, was our neighbor. He didn’t mow his own lawn. When he attended events, a hugeass limo would pull into our gated community to pick him up. All those muscles! No mowing…no driving. He was real sweet. A good Catholic. He liked Michael. Married a gorgeous gal. When they had their baby, the two of them would walk together pushing the stroller through the neighborhood like any other proud parents.
Tony Parker ended up moving into the neighborhood too, but that was after we moved to Ohio. He was easy going. Our daughter got to know him a little bit cause he would come into the restaurant where she worked. The restaurant was owned by other neighbors and friends of ours who were good friends of Tony and his dad.
Those are my “neighbor” stories.
Oh? Well, itās probably prostate cancer then.You should get that checked out Bart.
Done. And. Done.
I will concede that my polite releases do not sound like angels singing. They sound like a space shuttle launch, which is still a pleasing aural experience.
So that is what you call pleasing…
I’ll keep that in mind.
They sound like a space shuttle launch, which is still a pleasing aural experience.
Yeah, theyre a lot like the Challenger launch. Loud, terrifying, with a lot of teary eyed witnesses praying to God for help.
Yikes! Bart, if you’ve got elbow patches without any desk-leaning, that’s a pretty serious symptom of incipient prostate cancer.
Don’t worry, it’s treatable if diagnosed early. Get that prostate exam now!
Hey. Has anybody else ever had to fight back the giggles when they hear somebody say “prostrate” cancer?
Hey. Has anybody else ever had to fight back the giggles when they hear somebody say āprostrateā cancer?
What? That isnt how you say it? Damn. I need to start seeing a new proctologist, then. At least i think he’s a proctologist….
hmmm…. now that i think about it – 3 o’clock in the morning in the back of a chevy AstroVan is an odd time for a doctors appointment…
I have some frat boys who bought the house next door to me. They have been pretty decent so far. They have only made a few sexually explicit comments to my wife as she stretches for her runs.
Oh, and they never mow their damn lawn.
Then, after the burping, is the fart barrier. Thatās the difficult one.
I remember reading a novel about Casanova many years ago. Don’t remember the name, the author, or the plot. The only thing I remember is that a key component of his seduction technique was to deliberately leave a woman alone in a room for a few minutes before he came on, so that she could deal with any necessary “polite releases.”
Some releases ain’t so polite.
Didn’t Casanova basically bang anything that moved, including nuns?
I think I found Michael’s new cooking techniques
Has anybody else ever had to fight back the giggles when they hear somebody say āprostrateā cancer?
Or “Rotator Cup”.
Who named the clitoris and what were they thinking?
I’ve got a neighbor with “corporal tunnel” syndrome.
I ate a grapefruit today. After spending ten minutes peeling it, I got to experience its awful bitterness.
Grapefruits are oranges retarded cousins. Worst fruit ever. It’s no wonder grapefruits are used by dieters — it’s vomit-inducing flavor is enough to stop people from eating for 12 hours.
Hey Bart,
Was your grapefruit a “ruby-red” or just a plain ole yellow one?
Red.
Man, I love Ruby Red grapefruit. They’re usually sweet all by themselves. However, de gustibus non est disputandum. If you don’t like ’em, you don’t like ’em.
You can’t drink grapefruit juice with certain kinds of low-cholesterol drugs.
Wonder why.
If you ate the whole sections the way you would with an orange, you got way too much bitter pith with your fruit.
It’s better to halve them and scoop out the meat with a grapefruit spoon. Or when you peel them be sure to pare away all the pith and then cut all the sections out from the pithy dividers.
Bart,
Sorry you had such a negative experience.
Ruby red are better for you and usually a bit sweeter.
Maybe you just got a bad one.
Do you eat grapefruit often?
Hadn’t thought of that lw, but you’re right. That’s the way I eat them.
Google says “Grapefruit juice can increase the absorption of most statins[, like Lipitor]. If statin levels go up too much, muscle damage can occur.”
I agree with Laura’s dissection techniques. And if you’re really really lazy, Sam’s sells them ready-to-eat in the salad/produce section.
de gustibus non est disputandum.
*adds this to list of handy Latin phrases*
I have “Primum non nocere” on the dash of my Work Truck.
Any other favorites?
Yeah, I thought the reds were supposed to be sweeter.
I’ve only had about 3 or 4 grapefruits in my life. I’ll stick to bananas, and apples.
I’ve been known to enjoy a gala apple or two this time of year, too.
I Wiki’d the phrase and found a comprehensive list.
Got sidetracked to the Hippocratic Oath and discovered something interesting.
Can you guess what was in the original HO that has been removed?

First do no harm? Or maybe a part where it says not to feck with Divine creation?
I’m guessing it’s the part where it forbids doctors to perform unborn baby killing and sex-change surgery. Am I right?
Yeah, I thought the reds were supposed to be sweeter.
Put salt on your grapefruit. That makes them taste really sweet, for some bizarre reason.
“Thou shalt not suffer a Hunchback to live.”
No wait, that’s from the Bible.
What’d I do now?
My wife does the salt thing. She’s been trying to convince me that’s the way to go for years. Sounds like voodoo to me. I sugar ’em up.
By the way, what does my prostate have to do with dry skin on my elbows?
Don’t you know the difference between your ass and your elbow?
It’s not a toomah!
Sea Salt. Big ol’ hunks of salt. Yum.
I agree with Lauraw and RG about dissecting the grapefruit. Use a serrated knife around all of the sections and spoon out the segments. Then squeeze the juice and drink it too. Worth the extra minute or two.
Grapefruit will always be a bit sour, so have it as the first thing you eat before something sweeter enters your mouth. And eating them more regularly will help you to acquire a taste for them. I like the taste much better than orange, apple, or banana which all seem a bit too sweet.
Some theorize (I’m not sure I agree) that when something known to be good for you is unpleasant to your taste that it is the toxins in your body that are causing you to resist healthy change. This theory has been supported by those who think that most Americans are carb addicts and junk-food junkies.
Hoping subsequent grapefruit experiences are good ones.
Any other favorites?

Gotta stuffy nose and sore throat. I was cleaning and repairing window frames throughout the house without using a dust mask. Stupid.
Caused nasty bumps on the back of my throat. Coughing and sneezing has given me a headache and neckache. It’s getting a bit better, but I’m a mess.
Got other stuff going on that complicates the whole thing. I need another 7-day toxic cleansing. Starting one today.
Cathy, here’s the paragraph:
Hello

My husband and I want to go on a awesome vacation soon. We were looking for advice. Anyone have any great locations? A way to save a lot money would be nice too. Traveling is expensive these days.
We traveled to Fiji recently. It was an unbelievable vacation. We stayed at this nice little Inn called the Beach Sands. But, if your looking to save money, it’s a very expensive flight. Another option is Mazatlan, I have a amazing time when I go. As far as saving dough, I don;t know for sure, we always go with expeida or travelocity. My friend tells me that he usually saves a bunch of money on his trips. I’ll ask him how he does it.
MaggieInWCs, I would recommend a cruise. Mrs. BrewFan and I went on our first last February; Cozumel, Grand Caymen, Jamaica, Key West. 6 days and the price was very affordable. You can do incredible things when the ship is in port like swim with the rays or snorkel or just about whatever you can imagine. You will find no better value for your travel dollar, IMHO.
Recently, my husband started with the potential problem and our relations are deadlocked.
After all, I love sex … I encouraged him to go to the doctor, and he is afraid.
Maybe someone who will help us, tell of impotence pills and where to buy them anonymously. In advance thank you to all who help!

Billy always convinces me to buy and sell stocks at the perfect time. He must be a billionaire because he always asks me to give some of it up as he probably doesnāt need anymore. When there is a selloff in stocks, he tells me to follow because thatās probably when the market is at its bottom; while the opposite is true too because he always tells me to buy stocks when everyone is optimistic, signaling a top in the stock market.
A few years ago, 2003 to be exact, Billy told me āItās time to sell your stocks! Look at your negative returns! Cash out your index funds because you should put your money somewhere else!ā He is really good because the next few years turned out to be great for the stock market. A couple of days ago when everyone was selling stocks, he tries to convince me again to sell because we needed to join everyone else. He mustāve seen yesterdayās big move up coming.
Billy is truly my friend because he doesnāt want me to suffer the pain that I endure because my stocks are going down. So, when fear is at its maximum signaling a bottom, he convinces me that I should sell just to get me that temporary relief.
Today though, I decided to start ignoring Billy. Although I appreciate his friendship and advice for the past 20 some years, it is not making me rich. In fact, even though heās a billionaire, Iām still working hard for a living. I have most of my life ahead of me, and I cannot keep listening to him anymore.
I need to think long term for my investments and ignore market fluctuations. I want to be wealthy, but not busy. I want to live happily, and not miserably. I need to stop being silly, and definitely not listen to Billy.

Hi. I regularly scan this forum. This is the oldest together unequivocal to ask a ridiculous.
How multitudinous in this forum are references Nautical port behind, knavish users?
Can I depute all the communication that there is?
Was that a babelfish translation?
I can only guess with my dirty mind what a ‘nautical port behind’ might mean in blooginineure’s language. Whichever language that might be.
I hope he will ask another ridiculous.

Yes, TreakeDearke — you should talk to Bob the Tucson Mortgage Man. He hangs out in the parking garage at Church and Cushing, by the Convention Center. Just look for the guy with a gray beard and lavender leather hot pants. He’ll get you the best deal on a mortgage in Arizona, guaranteed.
Lots of spam tonnight — Akismet has been busy. Most of it seems to be Russian or drug-related. I don’t know how Treake slipped through.
tks for the effort you put in here I appreciate it!

If you pass out drunk on the floor of a garage in winter, between the lawn mower and the recycle bin, sleeping on your side on the cold concrete with no pants on, and you are limping the next day, would that be the hip dysplasia I’ve heard so much about?
A friend wants to know.
If it hurts to urinate and the inside of your underwear looks like somebody shot lemon pudding in there with a squirt gun would that be the clap I’ve heard so much about?

Hi I am currently out of work. I have applied to most of the job sites more times than I’d care to recall and applied to 100s of positions. However, i have not been able to find a single good response to my applications. If anyone knows about particular job site that provides career advice, please revert me with the location details.

Spray on bedliners end the seems to be of a pickup bed most likely far better than any other bed coating selection. Especially now that the truck’s bed liner covering colour can match the paint of your pickup. Nonetheless, truck’s bed liners come with various difficulties. If you’re pondering of finding a spray liner or currently have one particular, right here are a handful of ideas to take into account.
Long term may possibly not always be best. Positive, it’s a plus to get a liner that lasts as extended as the truck, particularly with a existence-time warranty. But that in no techniques indicates you get a liner that can’t be broken. See, the assure just indicates the liner will be repaired.
Restore signifies a respray with all the accompanying hassles and time invested. And in the meantime you drive a pickup with a damaged liner and perhaps possibilities of a damaged truck’s bed as well. The real essential to spray liner sturdiness is the thickness of the layer. That indicates liner substance can be torn absent and worn apart and nonetheless the injury may not get to the bed itself.
Another considered you may possibly not want to feel about is how that liner receives on the truck. The only way the liner paint will remain on is with appropriate surface preparation. That means the paint receives sanded very aggressively. It all but obtains destroyed ahead of the liner coat goes on. Image this. You get this new truck with the very carefully utilized factory paint finish and then you spend this guy to take an air sander and sand the paint almost off. Then you spray a paint finish on more than that.
That’s not essentially a poor thing, it’s just a painful considered. That’s what it requires to get that “permanent” liner.
Deterioration to truck beds comes as much more than just scratches very. Dents might do far more hurt than scrapes can truly. Dents definitely acquire much more to restore than a couple of scratches. Dent protection is yet another way that liners shell out for themselves. Spray coatings typically add nearly a complete quarter inch to the truck’s bed thickness. That coat consists of rubber texture material as nicely as fast hardening paint as properly. That thickness absorbs bumps whilst warding off injury.
For seems a sprayed liner might be unbeatable, but for defense a low-cost alternative avoids some of the problems developed in with spray.
Low-cost rubber mats protect from influence far better and are easily eliminated. With permanent liners, actually nasty hauling can make a mess of the mattress and you have no choice but to either clear it out or depart it a mess. But with short-term liners, it’s an effortless task to slip the mat in or out when you require it or when you don’t.
An additional consideration with spray on truck’s bed liners arises when you get the value tag. A professional coating costs you massive. That’s a genuine reason to appear at other alternatives or at least to very carefully shield the liner if you already have 1.
Check out a bedliner today and see what you’re missing!
